Supplements we shake out of the bottles
One of the best ways to learn what supplements to take is to see what others take, and why.
JANIE:
*high potency B-vitamins (has numerous health-giving benefits for thyroid, adrenals)
*Folic Acid (when it’s not in the above, I add it. Multiple benefits)
*one Ginger Root capsule (totally takes away my tendonitis, anti-inflammatory, many benefits)
*Magnesium Citrate (helps with palps, many benefits including heart health. I use drops.)
*Trace minerals (again, I used drops)
*Vit E (in the form of MIXED tocopherols)
*Selenium, natural food based tablets (anti-cancer, helps conversion of T4 to T3, etc)
*Iron (to keep my Ferritin from falling below 70) I sometimes slack on this now–meno.
*1000-5000 mg. Ascorbic Acid powder stirred into watered down orange juice or tomato juice (to support adrenals plus MANY benefits)
*Heaping tablespoon powdered greens (I use of variety of makers. Stir in juice)
*Flax seed in my morning yogurt
*Lugol’s iodine - 50 mg. stirred in juice
*compounded Testosterone (took away my lower back pain, but has many benefits!)
*Vitamin D (I’m impressed with what I read about its importance)
*Indole 3 Carbinol or DIM (when estrogen dominant)
*Sea salt liberally on my food
*Zinc–I suck on a tablet with 15 mg zinc at the sign of any sore throat, every two hours and two at bedtime–and it ALWAYS knocks it out.
I now only use non-fluoride toothpaste–fluoride is not the panacea they make it, and could be causing much of our problems. I also count it a plus if there is no sodium lauryl sulfate. I also dip my brush with toothpaste in baking soda. I use Burt’s Bees deodorant, or just Baking soda–the latter which is more often. I use organic lotions, and tend to avoid shampoos with sodium lauryl sulfate in them, as well. I use organic eye liner/mascara etc by Ecco Bella and BB’s. Because ANYTHING you rub into your skin goes into your body, and after time, may cause problems.
